Most-quoted passages

The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"Discovery must be furnished within sufficient time to permit the defendant to make use of it without having to forfeit his right to a speedy trial, and when discovery is not promptly furnished, the court may continue a case at the state's expense beyond the speedy trial limits even if such continuance effectively results in the discharge of the defendant. State v. Williams, 497 So.2d 730 (consolidated) (Fla. 2d DCA 1986). State v. Del Gaudio, 445 So.2d 605 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984)." [emphasis supplied.]”

2. “"But Trettis involved a violation of the discovery rule. In fact, the Trettis trial court had previously had to order the State to comply with the discovery request. A finding in Trettis , therefore, that the defendant was delayed in his preparation by the conduct of the State was most appropriate. But to hold that Trettis is authority for granting a continuance charged to the State when there has been no discovery violation is taking its holding out of context."”

3. “[The defendant's] dilemma was caused not because the State exercised its right to rely on the time provisions of the rule, but because she delayed seeking discovery until the eve of trial.”
